The Administration has backed off its historic mission of protecting freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. Instead, it keeps choosing appeasement.
Watching our response to Iranian aggression against us and our allies, I’m reminded of Sherlock Holmes mystery, “The Curious Case of the Dog That Didn’t Bark.” Turns out the watchdog didn’t bark because it knew the thief, and my supposition is that there is a good reason why we have behaved as if Iran and its proxies merit no more meaningful response: This Administration -- as did Obama’s -- has been thoroughly compromised respecting the ayatollahs.
In a lengthy post, Hussain-Abdul-Hussain, who analyzes such things for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, summarized the recent provocations of Iran.
This week, Iran attacked without provocation Pakistan, later claiming preposterously that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the attack without the knowledge of Iran’s foreign minister. It’s a pattern -- after attacks by the IRGC in Iraq, and from Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen, the regime claims these were done without its knowledge. No one there, it seems, contrary to evidence, is accountable for the damage. “If their people are happy living with these 'resistance' garbage models, then they should not complain of the misery and wars they are living in.”

Direct aggression against the U.S. and its allies by the Houthis in Yemen are clearly backed by Iran, causing substantial disruption of sea passage in the Red Sea, and yet the allied response has been too weak to eliminate the Houthi aggression.
Despite three American and British attacks on Houthi missile launch sites in the past two weeks, the Yemeni terrorist group continues to target shipping in the Red Sea

Maybe we just hit their aspirin factories.
That’s because our political leaders support them.
I am not saying that the Muslim world and its influential tentacles in the U.S. are all pro-Iran. But I am saying that when it comes to Muslim solidarity in general, Muslims of all different varieties stick together against the non-Muslim world.
And US soldiers are putting their lives on the line for this leadership weakness. Sad.
Ask Valerie Jarrett, maybe she knows the answer... /s

Yep. Old Arab saying: I against my brothers. I and my brothers against my cousins. I and my brothers and my cousins against the world.
When you realize that Obama and Valerie Jarrett are behind the curtain of the Biden Administration everything makes sense.
What would be “weird” would be to get worked up over Iran while our southern border is wide open. “Forward defense” is completely inconsistent with open borders.
Obama is not that smart, but Jarret is.
We’re not getting what we paid for for no reason.
BUMP
Good to see you. Post & tagline BUMP!
Obama has some kind of bromance going on with Iran. Probably driven by the fact that they both hate America. I don’t think it’s as strong with the Biden Administration, but since Biden is in (a lot of ways) Obama’s Third term, that sentiment is still there, but perhaps weaknened.
Could Obama and Iranian born Valerie Jarret have anything to do with this?
Valarie Jarrett
Maybe the ayatollahs have already inserted Klaus Schwabian implants into the heads of the western world’s leaders. It’s otherwise hard to imagine such idiocy.Indeed.
“lost” their lives (seems likely at this point):
